“A legal malpractice lawsuit can cause unnecessary headaches for a lawyer, not to mention ruin a law practice or law firm,” said Reni Gertner, managing editor of Lawyers USA. “The Legal Malpractice Monitor brings attorneys and law firms the information they need to avoid being sued, keep their clients happy and run their practices smoothly.”

Lawyers USA also announced its new podcast, Lawyers in Practice, which covers hot issues facing practicing attorneys and law firms. The first edition discusses how to prevent legal malpractice claims with better communication, with Jim Calloway, director of the Oklahoma Bar Association’s Management Assistance Program, and Dan Pinnington, vice-president of Claims Prevention and Stakeholder Relations at LawPRO, a professional liability carrier based in Toronto, Canada.
